The terminal,
with infrastructure meeting international standards, is expected to serve 20
million passengers per year, helping increase the capacity of the airport to
handle 50 million passengers per annum by 2025.
The Tan Son Nhat International Airport has become seriously overloaded,
forcing many flights to wait in the air to land. The airport has a design
capacity of 25 million passengers but the passenger throughput in 2016 was 32
million and in 2017 over 36 million, making the expansion of the airport an
urgent task.
The French firm recommended building support facilities including a cargo
terminal and an aircraft maintenance station in the airport’s northern area.
According to the PM, this could handle overload in air transport, ensure
effective land use and reduce investment costs and guarantee safety and
security in line with regulations of the International Civil Aviation
Organisation.
The government leader assigned the Ministry of Transport to direct the French
consultant company to continue working with the Vietnamese counterpart ADCC
under the Ministry of National Defence to complete the adjustment of the
expansion plan, ensuring efficiency, especially in land use in the north and
the south of the airport.
He asked the ministry to work with the HCM City People’s Committee to
devise feasible measures to reduce traffic jams around the airport.
The ministry must finalise legal dossiers for approving the adjustment of
the expansion plan and relevant planning schemes in addition to devising
mechanisms and policies to implement the projects, particularly defining a
roadmap to build support facilities in the northern area of the airport, the PM
said.
He entrusted the Ministry of National Defence to work with the Ministry of
Transport, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the HMC City
People’s Committee to review the use of land for defence purpose in areas
around the airport and relocate camps of military units to adjust the defence
land use plan.
The Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Ministry of Finance are
responsible for addressing shortcomings to ensure the progress of projects.
